Summary:

"Archipelago is A. Richard Williams's summation of his life in architecture, enriched by his reflections on all that architecture has meant to him. Looking back on a career spanning seven decades as an architect and educator, not only does Williams discuss his personal achievements with design, materials, and sites, but he contemplates the importance of friendships, the lessons of heroes, the inspiration of universities, and the revelations of travel. His affection for diverse locales reveals a heart ever open to appreciating the wonders of oceans and deserts, great cities and remote cabins, churches and libraries, forests and stone."--Jacket
